I wasn’t sure what to expect from Jessops. I’ve become quite cynical in recent years and I’ve come to expect being messed aboutÂ and ripped off. But, to my delight, Jessops was great. I was served by a guy called Chris in the Mercery Lane store who thankfully knew what he was doing. He was also more than happy to price match a couple of magazines I’dÂ taken in (containing the Jessops price match promise). I made a saving of around Â£150 from their list prices, and Nikon are offering a further Â£50 cash back. So I’m a happy man.

Now I would go on to say how great the camera is, but I can’t just yet. The first reason is that it’s meant to be a Christmas present, so I really ought to leave it alone for a couple of weeks. But, ignoring the first reason, it’s been either dark or pouring with rain since I left the store, so I haven’t had much opportunity.
